Silvia, a native of Oaxaca, Mexico, said Medi-Cal paid labor and delivery costs for both of her children, and added that she is frustrated that now she has to pay for their medical care and that she expected Friday's doctor visit to cost her $35. "I think they should pay," said the woman

A future (and probably present) Democrat voter. ....along with tens of millions of her compatriots. The GOP appears completely oblivious to this political demographic nightmare.

Private gain (by those employing illegals), public cost, passed on to you the taxpayer. What are the tax rates now in California? 8.5% income. 8.5% sales. That's 17%. Add in a 30% Federal rate and citizens of the Golden State are paying more than 1/2 their gold to the government. From utopia to distopia in one generation.

Coming soon to a location near you!

Viva La Raza!

A state report quietly released last spring shows illegal immigrants made up the largest single group of those giving birth at taxpayer expense in the state and in San Diego County in 2004.

Okay, so 40% are illegal immigrants. Of the remaining 60% how many are legal residents and how many are . . . what other category could there be? Please don't tell me that someone is breaking these statistics down by ethnic group after separating out the illegals. That is a misuse of statistical comparison.

Money deducted from wages for Social Security is money the illegal immigrants will never see again, said Pedro Rios, San Diego office director for the Quaker organization. Illegal immigrants also pay sales tax every time they go to the store and other federal and state taxes every time they buy gasoline, he said.

True for every other citizen as well.

"humanitarianwise, you can't turn your back on a newborn."

But you can rescind the anchor baby laws, beef up border security (including building a barrier), and heavily fine employers who hire illegals. Taken together those measures would go a long way to help solve the problem.

I actually had a moron post to me here a while ago that there was a SHORTAGE of Mexican workers in California. Well based on this article the illegals are trying hard to remedy the problem !!!

MediCal aggressively markets services on T.V. radio, news and billboards.

illegal taxation with illegal representation

A state report quietly released last spring . . .

I read this article at www.nctimes.com this morning, and I wondered why, if the report was released last May, this was newsworthy today? Did I miss something in the article?

[RightField]

The May report, "Medi-Cal Funded Deliveries," states that of the 14,350 taxpayer-funded births in the county that year, 5,814, or 40.5 percent, were to illegal immigrants

I bet the percentage is even higher at Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside.

Illegal immigrants also pay sales tax every time they go to the store and other federal and state taxes every time they buy gasoline, he said.

I would consider this line of reasoning if the Fair Tax were passed, but otherwise it is bologna. Illegals costs much more than they pay.

A side note...these people are basically complaining about the costs of socialized medicine....the very thing that the Dems want for all of US. Can't wait to see what the highest tax rate will be when we all have "free" health care. It is a right ya know. /s

And driving without a license or insurance, no doubt. Not to mention endangering lives. But hey, they have rights and we do not!

[ridesthemiles]

"I think they should PAY. I buy things and pay taxes.!!!"""

This is the biggest reason we cannot let the illegals take over our country.

They think that if ANYONE has more than them, they should get stuff for free.

I don't have much, but it is logical that I have SOMETHING more than someone else.
I WORKED for everything I have. I performed a job, got a NET paycheck, and purchased my things with my own discretion.

Guess the good news about all of this is that I also purchased my own guns. When someone comes and tries to "take" what is already mine, there will be some bloodshed. Probably SSS will be involved.

[Regulator]

the total cost to taxpayers ran more than $400 million

They should call it "funding hate", because that's what their parents have for Americans and that's what their children grow up to be like [ Exhibit 1: the Gran Marchas last spring ].

This is what the Americans of California are forced to do by the Judgeocracy: fund our own destruction.

"Illegal immigrants also pay sales tax every time they go to the store and other federal and state taxes every time they buy gasoline, he said"


Oh well!!! If that is all we have to pay to cover all these freebees than I guess I'll quit paying income tax and property tax and license fees etc...

[VRWC For Truth]

The dirty little secret is that there is an infrastructure of government and private sector jobs built around these ponzi schemes. No politician is going to cut their own throat. Statesmen ... there aren't any.

[Joe Boucher]

I sure do get tired of paying for illegals. And what is their benefit? Cheaper food? Not when all the costs are involved.
Cheaper labor costs? NOt when you include the overall costs incurred by our society.

[A. Pole]

They are all legal US citizens, so where is the problem? :)
